iippo

2019-11-02 15:50:25 UTC  

Frankly, I believe in what you call slavery morality.

2019-11-02 15:50:25 UTC  

Uhh the is ought thing I don’t really think about since I think of it in terms of “this is just the way it is”

@Hector We are part of the universe, so it is both inside of us and outside of us. The underlying truth (Logos) exist, that which conflicts with it is wrong, that which conflicts with it and hurts other is evil. Logos can only be recongnized by living things, and therefore it is only the job of living things to try not conflict with it (be moral), obviously a rock or grain of sand simply is and cannot disagree wtih Logos, only living thinking things can disagree and go against Logos. To go beyond the morality (which is simply not being immoral) is to be virtuous and uphold Logos.

Vids are hilarious

2019-11-02 15:51:29 UTC  

@StRexPowerColt I would classify you as a moral realist then.

2019-11-02 15:51:33 UTC  

Numbers are apart of reality.

2019-11-02 15:51:40 UTC  

is ought is the difference between the way the world is (positive or descriptive thought) and the way we want it to be (normative or preferential thought)

2019-11-02 15:51:59 UTC  

Numbers are just a way of qualifying reality.

2019-11-02 15:52:14 UTC  

We can do it differently, but there are simples in the universe.

2019-11-02 15:52:37 UTC  

Well @Hector All that I am doing is stating that which was preached by Jesus.

2019-11-02 15:52:47 UTC  

its pretty obvious that the brain is a product of evolution, as are our moral preferences

2019-11-02 15:53:00 UTC  

our moral preferences are just emergent

2019-11-02 15:53:15 UTC  

@Nerthulas the book I recommended you, did you open it yet?

2019-11-02 15:53:35 UTC  

I opened it and looked over it quickly, but I haven't gone into it in depth

2019-11-02 15:53:41 UTC  

does it contain a response to this?

2019-11-02 15:54:01 UTC  

It’s a book about how the mind evolved and difference between a ripple in moral preferences.

2019-11-02 15:54:33 UTC  

But I think morality is outside of people. Just wanted you to know I understand the whole evolution morality thing.

2019-11-02 15:54:40 UTC  

the thing is, the fact that the brain evolved a certain way actually implies nothing about what we ought to do, or the validity of human morality

2019-11-02 15:54:44 UTC  

its just a fact

2019-11-02 15:54:51 UTC  

it doesn't budge is/ought

2019-11-02 15:55:13 UTC  

something being explained is not the same as something being justified

2019-11-02 15:55:21 UTC  

Well, if you don’t believe in moral realism, that would be the case.

2019-11-02 15:56:21 UTC  

Like I understand what you’re saying. I even recommended you a book on it. I disagree though.

2019-11-02 15:56:31 UTC  

well independently of what your position on moral realism vs non realism is, an explanation is not the same thing as a justification - that I can find an evolutionary basis for a behavior does not imply that that behavior is metaphysically good or whatever

2019-11-02 15:56:44 UTC  

there is no room for disagreement

2019-11-02 15:56:45 UTC  

lol

2019-11-02 15:57:20 UTC  

So you don’t think I can justify my position?

2019-11-02 15:57:29 UTC  

absolutely not 😂

2019-11-02 15:57:49 UTC  

frankly I like christians who claim revelation more than christians who engage in apologetics

2019-11-02 15:58:10 UTC  

I don’t know if this convo can move forward.

2019-11-02 15:58:19 UTC  

🤷🏻

2019-11-02 15:58:24 UTC  

Throw holy water on him

2019-11-02 15:58:25 UTC  

He will burn

2019-11-02 15:58:27 UTC  

anything you could do would be purely linguistic

2019-11-02 15:58:32 UTC  

a trick with definitions
